His use of his whole body to express actions and emotions is what really makes his jokes friggen hilarious. Like Fluttering his hands to make eyelashes. Pretending to be his wife putting on stockings backwards and forwards. Being distressed because he's stuck in the horrid tight bed sheets. Walking cross stage with the mini kettle as he goes to fill it up in the bathroom. He just takes you straight to the moment. Funniest comedian ever.
Eddie Izzard did that too. I laughed till I cried so many times. Warning: helps to know a bit of French, German, and Latin. They crop up from time to time.
I used to work in a hotel as the wake up call operator! It was a fun job. If no one answered we would send someone to the room to see if the person was okay. It was a very serious thing!
What do you think about hearing all the first voices of people waking up? I remember there was one time I asked for a wake up call. Now I don't travel much, and much less alone, or needed to wake up at very specific times. And like previous commentor said, many wake up calls are automated these days... which gives me a little annoying feeling like... "why's this machine calling me and making me hear all these?" 😂 But that last time I had a wake up call from a real person, I suddenly felt so vulnerable, with my sleepy, breathy voice... like darn... this stranger over the phone is hearing my sexy first voice in the morning... sometimes abit phelgmy, ugh... the first morning I remember I was stunted and didn't know what to say... Like... "huh? What?" Paused for a few seconds and... "oh, right. Thank you..."
I really enjoy the way he sets up all these smaller jokes, like the sheets, key card, shortbread and Bible, and then combines them all into one scenario - like some sort of enormous towel :D
@justme You do, cause it's a hotel service and he's having fun, you acting like she was being tortured and stripped of her human right. Grow up please and look at the situation for what it actually is.
As someone who works in a 5 star hotel this is beyond hilarious, but trust me all the “irrelevant” things you find there eventually are relevant 🤣 you’d never believe what people ask for
is it weird my parents have a kettle in their bedroom and they put milk and coffee in a mug the nught before the fill up the kettle from the bathroom water and have a coffee in bed?
@Zoe wellll mine isnt its a seperate room and the only time i drink is from the tap after ive eaten some unhealthy biscuit or some other junk good shit
Yes!! Same. I like that he barely swears. It's inline with his posh accent! Also, I don't think of him as a crude comic either which also works well with the posh àccent.
@justme No it's not.Gaslighting is when you are trying to alter the memories/perception/beliefs of an individual.He did nothing of the sort no matter how you look at it.
Wow, it's like he's observed all of these hilarious things in hotels - anyone who has been to a hotel before is highly likely to identify with McIntyre's observations, and to find them amusing.
I used to work as a receptionist when I was a student and if Michael McIntyre had asked me to join him for breakfast, I'd have gone in a heartbeat. He's super-cute!
OMG totally brilliant and hilarious!!! Never tire to watch him. Such talent in making real situations so funny 🤣 🤣🤣❤❤❤ Thank you Michael, you are awesome!
Death Eater Sorry to hear that - but things like that happen more frequently than one may think. It’s actually happened to me too. And you probably have other gifts. :) Just move on and enjoy life. Peace.
Death Eater Ah - I see what you mean and I can agree with you on that. But if a live audience wouldn’t laugh at your jokes... that wouldn’t be too great 🤔😄
Klas13Klas13 it's just whenever you hear the audience laughing in plays and films and stuff I always find it annoying, even though when they don't add it in I miss it...😅
LOL I died laughing over the WWII evacuee/Duvet bit. LOL. Love the connections he makes, they're hilarious. - totally agree, they should give you Duvets, I don't understand this 'sheets so tight they could be a trampoline' business.
I completely agree with the wake up calls being awkward and it's just as awkward for the person making the call. I work as a night porter and usually the last job for me is wake up calls and it's usually awkward. The only times it's not awkward is when it's a business person who's used to staying in hotels. It's nice when I go to a hotel that has a automated wake up call
Love Michael. I'm in the US and only discovered him on TRvid. My absolute favorite comedian. So, where's the bit about the Scandinavian hotel? Would've been a great addition to this vid.
Me, watching McIntyre with earphones: *strangled wheeze* Friend: You alright Me: Yeah, I'm just watching Michael McIntyre Friend: Ah, of course. Carry on
I like the sewing kits. They’ve helped several times with sewing buttons that have come off, safety pins for holding things together, thread and needle for sewing rips... I’ve started carrying mine whenever I travel though. Always need them at weddings, graduations, etc. if not for me, then others.
Michael McIntyre’s jokes are very observational and simple but has distinctive delivery. This is why he has marmite effect on people. People either love or hate him. There is no middle ground for him.
Yes that turning down the bed, brought back memories of when I was working in hotel in school holidays. I had to turn beds, and I knocked on one door, and the man didn't speak english, and I was trying to explain what I was there for. I wondered what he was thinking, especially when I went to the bed to turn the sheets down. So weird and funny, especially when most don't know what's going on. Also walking rooms with a man lying on the bed with only undies on, or running to hid because they're naked. A good subject for comedy. Enjoyed the sketch immensely.
When I'm on holiday and the hotel has a breakfast buffet, no matter how hot the place is, I always take my jacket, throw it on the back of the chair and head to the buffet without sitting down
Just discovered Michael McIntyre, wish I knew about him sooner (though not being a UK citizen, never even been there, probably caused that). He really is a genius, and I like that he is having as much fun on stage as his audience have listening to him :)
Have you ever gotten a hotel room key that works on all the doors even at it's other hotels in different cities? I found that out on accident as a child when I forgot to return my key card when we switched rooms and the key still worked. And it worked fine to open the door to the same hotel in next city we stayed in.
Whenever I've gone to a buffet I've gone with other people and we one by one, go to the buffet at different times so that that there is always someone at the table. I'm pretty sure if everyone gets up and leaves the table at the same time that they'll assume you're done with the table and give it to someone else... or someone will steal anything you left at the table... so we don't go in, sit down and then immediately stand back up again. We go in, decide who's going to the buffet first and who's going to wait at the table for their turn and the person who waits at the table sits down and everyone else immediately goes to the buffet without sitting down. As soon as someone comes back to the table with their food then whoever was left at the table leaves to get their food. And it continues like this the entire time you're there... but the walk back and forth does happen because you can't fit everything you want onto those tiny plates. You can fit like 2 to 4 things on there depending on what you grab but then there's several other things that you end up going back for. Also can someone explain to me what the hell a duvay even is? I spelled that wrong but I've literally never heard that word before in my life. I have a feeling this is one of those things that we probably call by a different name in the states given how common it seems to be. He talks about how the beds only have sheets so I assume he means comforter or blanket but I'm not sure. All I know is that there is nothing on my bed I would call a duvay cause I don't know what the hell that is. I have a sheet, a blanket, a comforter, and a smaller throw blanket... I don't know why, that last one isn't even big enough to cover my entire body which is something a blanket should do but my aunt gave it to me so it's on my bed... and I have three pillows... and what is a duvay?
Well, I've never had time at hotels (dog shows) but at a Eat'n Park we usually wait, a very short time, to order our drinks and then head to the buffet.....for a sample of pretty much everything.....much like China Buffet. 😂
